Quick Create in Nora IPLM lets you rapidly generate new documents whether specs, reviews, or design notes, directly from any widget without switching tabs. With just a few clicks, you can define document attributes, upload files, and instantly link them to related items such as BOMs, change requests, or CAD models. This streamlined process keeps your documentation centralized, traceable, and aligned with your product structure.
Take control of your documents with a faster, more connected workflow. The Nora IPLM platform, together with the Desktop Services App and the Desktop widget, lets you create, edit, and sync documents directly from your computer while keeping every version linked to your product data. You can work in your familiar Office apps, manage updates in the platform, and keep your documentation organized without breaking your flow.
In fast-moving product development, manually editing bills of materials (BOMs) after design updates is a hidden bottleneck. Nora IPLM addresses this at the source by connecting directly with your CAD system (such as SolidWorks) and enabling you to add new items, assign relationships (“material”, “supplier”, etc.), and instantly reflect changes in your PLM-controlled structure.

Learn how to add new items to a product structure integrated from SolidWorks using the Nora IPLM Desktop Widget. This step-by-step guide shows how to create items within your CAD-linked structure, define relationships like materials and suppliers, and keep your BOM synchronized and accurate across your PLM environment.
Discover how Nora IPLM brings flexibility and control to workflow management in PLM. Learn how teams can automate approvals, visualize processes, and adapt workflows.
Discover the top BOM management mistakes SMBs face and how to fix them. Improve part numbering, control revisions, link BOMs to CAD and suppliers, and reduce costly errors with PLM BOM software.
The Cerebital team attended AI Conference 2025 in San Francisco, where global leaders explored how artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to enterprise impact. In this article we highlight the key takeaways from Agentic AI and Knowledge Graphs to multimodal intelligence, and how Cerebital is embedding these innovations into Nora IPLM to shape the future of Product Lifecycle Management.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is evolving from document control systems into intelligent, connected networks that learn from every design, decision, and iteration. This article explores how Nora IPLM represents the new generation of AI-driven PLM, where data becomes knowledge and knowledge becomes innovation.
